Long-chain acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] reductase
InterPro entry
Short name | AAR |

Description
This entry represents Long-chain acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] reductase from Synechococcus elongatus (ARR) and similar proteins from Cyanobacteria. ARR reduces a long-chain (mainly C16 or C18) fatty acyl ACP ester to its corresponding fatty aldehyde, releasing the acyl carrier protein (ACP)
[1]. NADPH is the reductant for this reaction. Its structure shows the protein is composed of three domains, with the the mid-domain was designated as the dinucleotide recognition loop
[2]. This enzyme may be distantly related to the short-chain dehydrogenase or reductase (SDR) family (
PF00106).
